Finalist: Adam Heier, Jon Magruder

The College of Architecture at the University of NebraskaLincoln, in partnership with SGH Inc. and Dri-Design, has established a student scholarship competition for the fourth-year, undergraduate, architectural design studios.

The scholarship recognizes student projects exemplifying outstanding design investigation, resolution, and significance.

This opportunity brings together aspiring architects and industry leaders to advance disciplinary knowledge of design, materiality, and innovation.

Following the end-of-semester review, one project from each studio is selected to compete for the SGH Inc./Dri-Design Scholarship. These projects are presented to an external jury who are all established practitioners in their fields. A finalist is chosen for producing and communicating a comprehensive architectural project that is a result of design decisions at different scales. To be successful, students demonstrate a high degree of professional dedication, rigor, open-mindedness, and resourcefulness. Projects are rigorously developed and clearly communicate the breadth and depth of investigation.

DRI-DESIGN Founded in Holland, Michigan in 1995, under the leadership of President Brad Zeeff, dri-design has turned the Metal Panel Industry on its ear. With dri-design, Zeeff set out to solve what he viewed as the significant shortfalls of traditional metal panel systems: delamination, staining due to the effects of weather on joints and gaskets, a lack of color and texture options, the rising cost of production and inefficient installation practices.

The result of dri-design’s meticulous engineering, is a 100% recyclable, pressure equalized rain-screen, architectural metal wall panel system that attaches to nearly any substrate without the use of clips or extrusions. The pressure equalized rainscreen design can be installed simply over commercial grade Tyvek onto plywood, or as the most sophisticated outboard insulation pressure equalized rain-screen you can design.

We would especially like to thank Jason Zeeff for partnering with SGH.

Honor Award Sacred Architecture: searching for the ineffable David Alcala, Josh Puppe Faculty Mentor: Mark Bacon Located on the threshold between The University of Nebraska – Lincoln and Downtown, St. Joseph’s Catholic Church looks to serve not only the campus population but that of the city as well. The church would serve these communities by facilitating an understanding of human life and death by creating a dynamic relationship between traditional chapel programming, juxtaposed with an elevated columbarium (a room for urns to be stored). Thus presenting inhabitants with a traditional space of worship and hope, and one of contemplation and remembrance. This dynamic relationship is strengthened through the employment of light, material logic, and the concept of ascension through architecture. These project goals are achieved by designing spaces around light such as the main chapel and others around darkness, such as the private chapel to reflect the program of the room through the atmosphere being created. A material logic was employed to further this relationship between lightness and darkness, manifesting itself as a contrast between black granite, which houses the columbarium, and an aluminum perforated system with an interior wooden scrim, which houses the main chapel spaces.

Through the concept of ascension the building was laid out in such a way that the user begins in public spaces on the first and second floors, and as they continue vertically, reach more intimate spaces to promote a sense of contemplation and reflection within the architecture. As the user finishes their journey at the rooftop garden, they are reminded of the hope that remains in life and death.

Finalist Air Rights Architecture Kevin Baitey, Natalia Sabrina Ortiz Faculty Mentor: David Karle Air rights constitute the ownership of space at and above the top of a certain property. The potential benefits of developing air rights is most evident in cities like New York and Chicago where rising land values and the expansion of ground transportation create a desperate need for real estate development. However, the benefit of developing air right structures should not be limited to large cities. For some smaller cities, growth and expansion of modern facilities are beginning to overshadow historic buildings. As these cities expand, they must make compromises when it comes to real estate and often times the expensive-to-maintain historic buildings become targets for demolition. Protecting the landmarks in cities of all sizes allow them to celebrate the meaning of a building to the history and culture of the modernized city and it is only through the documenting and preserving of history that a city can trace its progress and quantify its success. By integrating an incomegenerating building, or simply renting out its air rights, we can provide a historic building with the necessary funding and pragmatic reasons to remain standing. Therefore, the development of this boutique hotel will not only serve to provide a gallery and hotel to Lincoln, but it will also add a historic layer to the cultural fabric of the Haymarket District by projecting, protecting, and celebrating the symbol that is the Lincoln Train Station to the aspirations of the city.

Finalist KCAI Department of Architecture Adam Heier, Jon Magruder Faculty mentor: Joyce Raybuck Human interaction is a vital portion of our day-to-day lifestyle and an innate need of our own humanity. In an increasingly technological world, it becomes critical that we not only maintain face-to-face communication, but also to help foster it and use it as a tool to further our understanding and solve some of the largest problems that our world faces. We believe that all disciplines, regardless of background, can use their own humanity and communication skills to advance solutions to issues not yet found or realized. Our proposal for Department of Architecture at the Kansas City Art Institute is centered on human interaction through the lens of collaboration and how architecture can enhance this interaction to help solve problems, both architectural and not.

However, to accomplish a human-centered architectural space and make it effective, a wide variety of spaces must be incorporated to address the plethora of problems the users of these spaces might be solving. Incorporating characteristics of highly collaborative spaces is crucial to how each space functions and how people use it. Part of this, as an educational building, is to educate the people using these collaborative areas, and the students in this department on what makes architecture collaborative and human-centered.

Architecture is one discipline that has a large impact on how people interact and use space. Our goal is to maintain our humanity in a technologically-driven world to help address some of today’s largest issues through architectural spatial occupation.
